Outside. In shorts. And a t-shirt.
By myself.
And it was awesome.
I ran a 2 mile warm up, 2 miles of tempo through the horrible mountains of Bucceleuch Park, and then a 2 mile cool down.
I know it's not Spring yet, but with yesterday and today's temperature in the 50s and this weekend's upcoming time change, I'm definitely starting to feel the fact that the earth is getting closer to the sun with each passing moment.
I enjoy running with other people, especially during my long runs. But, there is just something about lacing up your shoes and running from your house, only paying attention to your breathing and letting everything else disappear. Not listening to any chatter from your friend or your mind and just being content with moving forward, no matter how fast or slow.
Tonight I have a 3500 meter swim to conquer, and I'll officially feel like I'm back on track.
It feels good.
Now...if only I could tear myself away from the computer and get my butt to a practice room...

Feels great doesn't it?
I hear ya.. well with every thing other then the running outside.. I have not gotten to that point here yet.
Cheers.
Rice.
We've been getting much of the same here. Although, winter is going to rear its ugly head again tomorrow.
Much easier to practice when it's cold and crappy, in my experience.
Every once in awhile we remember why we run in the first place.
so nice taking advantage of the great weather!
Hi, Su. New to your blog; you have a nice following!
From 1968-81 I lived by Buccleuch Park and ran there nearly every day. Especially enjoyed hill repeats from George St. up to the Colony House canopy.
Good luck in AZ, and with music, training, racing and all the rest!
